00:24so that's what the kid are up to transforming people into willing slaves now we know why they
00:44take so many prisoners well they're sure as hell not taken anymore i need to talk to you
00:52about stasis revival and those protesters and hydroponics i see maybe i should get the others
00:58for this protesters have seized hydroponics they want their families out of stasis the outpost on
01:05eos disrupted the schedule they're scattered across colony blocks dozens of people the
01:11protesters want this fixed today the realities of our position are we can't wake those families
01:18we don't have the resources and there's nowhere to put them
01:21then what's the point of all those outposts i've founded people need more than space rider
01:28they need work they're trained for and we don't have placements for those families
01:32if i just toss them to any outpost with a spare bunk they become a burden we can't afford
01:37what do you suggest leave the families in stasis where it's safe and get those protesters out of
01:42hydroponics they seem sympathetic but so did the exiles we can't risk another revolt survival is more
01:49important than family reunions
01:51what would you do with the protesters i'd send in a squad and march them out at gunpoint if we must
01:59if they resist if you might land in medbay but it's better than losing hydroponics or the nexus
02:04do you think these protests could turn violent we're all pioneers even civilians are tough enough
02:13to start something and interfering in hydroponics threatens our oxygen supply they know that
02:19we have to look at the bigger picture get them out of there
02:26kangro's i'll send in a team but it might go smoother if rider's there
02:30a good idea sometimes we have to give bad news that's a pathfinder's duty too
02:36attention civil disobedience has been reported in hydroponics security is investigating
02:48convicted murderer milken rensus pardoned after an investigation by the human pathfinder proved his
03:04innocence this is hns
03:06just stand down ma'am or you'll shoot me good luck explaining that to my grandchildren
03:21what happened she was about to disconnect the water hoses threaten all the plants
03:26they're saying the leaders won't wake our families well this is how far we're willing to go
03:31their move i know this is hard but for the good of the nexus we need you to be patient
03:39we've already waited how old will i be by the time mom's out of stasis
03:43take it easy kid the pathfinder's got a point
03:46i'll go off station if i have to i'll find anyone who'll actually do something
03:51you want your mom to wake up and find you exiled or dead i
04:02riss don't anything's better than that even the longest wait of our lives
04:08when our families hear about this they'll probably agree with the pathfinder you're done here come on
04:15let's find
04:16let's find
04:45A worker was lost to space during repairs on the Nexus Hull.
05:03The victim's name has been withheld until next of kin in the Milky Way is notified.
05:07This is HNS.
05:15RYDER, one of your father's memories is available.
05:45Dr. Aradana at the tech lab sent some equations for you to solve.
05:49I'm ready.
05:51Transferring them now. Have fun.
05:55Hey, what the...
05:57Sam?
05:58Military code detected. Please stand by.
06:01Sam?
06:04Attempting to confirm on military code. Please stand by.
06:07Is there anything I can do?
06:10Sam?
06:10Is that another malfunction or...
06:14Sam?
06:15You trying to show me something?
06:23Okay, I think I got it.
06:27Sam, talk to me.
06:29Hello, Pathfinder.
06:30Please initialize the console to restore normal operations.
06:35Sam, what happened?
06:36The equations contained a Trojan horse program, a virus.
06:41Specifically targeted to sever our connection and render me helpless.
06:45Reconnecting would be impossible.
06:50How do you feel? Are you okay?
06:53I cannot feel pain.
06:55However, I would avoid repeating the experience, which is the purpose of pain in organic life.
07:00Unlock the door. Let's head to the tech lab and see what Dr. Aradana has to say.
07:04Okay.
07:04Ryder, one of your father's memories is available.
07:12Let's see it.
07:13This memory is from when your parents returned to Earth, after your mother was diagnosed with her disease.
07:21It's simple. We take Sam.
07:24Who?
07:25I named the AI, simulated adaptive matrix.
07:28Sam, we use your research and interface Sam with an implant.
07:33Um, my work on biotic implants was yielding results, but this... I don't know.
07:41What did the doctor say?
07:43Alec.
07:44What did he say?
07:47It's getting worse.
07:49There's your answer.
07:51This will work.
07:53Sam can fix you.
07:55Alec, I'm not some war you have to win.
07:57You're not an M7 anymore.
07:59That doesn't mean we...
08:01They kicked you out of the Alliance for this.
08:03We're talking about your life.
08:06Alec, did you ever consider that maybe it's my time to go?
08:10I'm human.
08:12We die.
08:14It happens.
08:15Ellen, please.
08:17Losing you is not an option.
08:18The kids aren't going to lose their mother.
08:22God knows they never had a father.
08:24Then give them one.
08:26They just asked for a refund.
08:29So can this Sam talk yet?
08:31Hello, Ellen.
08:32Why did the tree go to the dentist?
08:34Um...
08:35To get a root canal.
08:40Humor algorithms.
08:41I can't seem to get the hang of it.
08:43Or maybe it's the guy teaching them?
08:45That felt so real.
08:50Mom was right there.
08:52Alive.
08:53It was the first time I met, Ellen.
08:55My education on human mortality began that day.
08:58Your mother seemed prepared to die.
09:02But Dad wasn't ready.
09:04Mom was just trying to prepare him.
09:06Even though all human beings one day expire.
09:10Yeah, but when it's someone you love,
09:12it's not that cut and dry.
09:13I'm beginning to understand where your father's resolve came from.
09:17Private audio logs are now available in your father's quarters.
09:21Your progress as Pathfinder has unlocked an additional memory.
09:27Let's see it.
09:28This memory is of a family gathering on Earth.
09:33Finally.
09:35The Ryder clan in one room.
09:37It feels like it's been years since we were together.
09:40Or more.
09:40Well, I'll take whatever I can get.
09:44I've missed you two.
09:45How are you feeling, Mom?
09:47No, we're not doing that.
09:49There's only one rule for this visit.
09:50No talking about me.
09:53I'm fine.
09:54And when I'm not, the pills help.
09:58Deal?
09:59Okay.
10:01Good.
10:01Let's talk about something else.
10:03Alec?
10:04Oh.
10:05Well, uh, you're both looking taller.
10:14Yeah, Dad, that does tend to happen.
10:17Right, right, I know.
10:18So, um, I heard the Alliance has a new Mako in the works.
10:24Yeah, word is they can airdrop this one from a ship.
10:27I know.
10:28They're saying we might get one on our next expedition.
10:31You still poking around the attic in traverse?
10:34It's amazing.
10:36We think we might have found a Prothean site.
10:38No artifacts yet, but we're still digging.
10:41Ah, I remember the day they found the first ruins on Mars.
10:44Changed my life.
10:46We knew for sure that aliens were real.
10:48We just had to go find them.
10:50Yes, every day I wake up, I'm looking at a Mass Effect relay,
10:54and I keep thinking, what's on the other side?
10:57Don't lose that.
10:59The minute you stop wondering what's beyond the mountain,
11:01you die a little inside.
11:02No chance of that.
11:04It's in our blood.
11:05You infected us.
11:06What was it like, Dad?
11:10When you went through that first relay?
11:12Ha, don't believe the stories.
11:15The Charon relay scared the shit out of us.
11:18Admiral Brissom included.
11:20Why don't we go have this dinner your mom's been slaving over all day?
11:23I'll tell you all about it.
11:32I remember that.
11:33Mom complained the Ryder clan was never in the same room at the same time.
11:38Odd, considering you were family.
11:42People get busy.
11:44Scott and I were trying to start our lives.
11:46A course that seems to have been influenced by your father.
11:49Yeah.
11:50Good or bad, your parents were buff on you.
11:53A form of symbiosis?
11:55Sure, I suppose.
11:57Though not always beneficial.
11:59It gave rise to you.
12:01Jury's still out on that.
12:02Nevertheless.
12:02The emotional bonds among family became clear to me that day.
12:07Your progress as Pathfinder has unlocked an additional memory.
12:13I'd see it.
12:13This memory is when Alec first learned the initiative.
12:21It will be just a moment.
12:24Hello, Alec.
12:25I'm too old for Cloak and Dagger.
12:28I got your message.
12:30I'm here.
12:31Who are you?
12:32A benefactor.
12:33If you like.
12:34You have something to offer me?
12:36A future.
12:38That's vague.
12:39A future.
12:41For your wife.
12:43You're out of money.
12:44Your contacts have dried up.
12:46You can't finish Sam.
12:48How do you know about them?
12:50I can help you.
12:51Whatever you need.
12:53Start by telling me what you need.
12:55Your AI is more than a cure for your wife.
12:58It could also be the salvation for many others.
13:01I don't follow.
13:02Where we're going, we'll need a different perspective to understand things.
13:06Where's that?
13:08The Andromeda Galaxy.
13:09I have a proposal for you.
13:11And Ellen doesn't have much time.
13:14Are you interested?
13:19Who was that?
13:20The benefactor.
13:22I believe there was more to the Andromeda initiative than was publicly understood.
13:27Private logs are now available in your father's quarters.
13:30They may shed further light on the matter.
13:32I detect additional memories, but they are currently locked.
13:35They may yet hold answers.
13:37Okay.
13:38I'll keep working on it.
13:41That's all for now.
13:42Of course.
13:42Your father's personal locks.
14:06Give me that, Alec.
14:13We've heard enough of you talking.
14:15Right.
14:16So, here's the irony.
14:18My research on biotic implants and iso caused this stupid disease.
14:23But maybe it'll save me, too.
14:25No, maybe about it.
14:27Hey, this is my secret log.
14:29Anyway, the right type of implant, joined with the right type of AI, could actually bolster human physiology.
14:38Even as the disease is trying to kill me, the implant and Sam are counteracting it, keeping things balanced.
14:46Result?
14:47I get to hang around a little longer.
14:49Maybe collect on all those anniversary dinners this guy owes me.
14:56As a quarian and historian, how do you view your people's reaction to the Geth?
15:02Well, we banned artificial intelligence, which was understandable, but that was taking a hammer to a rather delicate nail.
15:11Which was what?
15:13The very thing that sparked the revolt.
15:16The first Geth who asked us,
15:18Creator, does this unit have a soul?
15:22But how could it have a soul?
15:25Geth had no meaningful perceptions of the world or diversity of experiences we take for granted.
15:32Horse, the Geth saw us as the creator.
15:37The revolt was inevitable.
15:39We were their superiors.
15:42And they resented it.
15:43Ryder, Barlebon says you're looking for me.
15:49It's not every day an XM7 looks for the Shadow Broker.
15:53Anything can be had, provided you can pay.
15:57Especially when the tech involves artificial intelligence.
16:00The council will have specters all over my ass if they catch wind of this.
16:05Translation, I'll get you the code you want, but the price just doubled.
16:10If you try to reneg, I've got people.
16:13People with guns.
16:22I had a strange meeting yesterday.
16:25I thought it would be with J.N. Garson, who founded the initiative.
16:29But it wasn't.
16:30I guess J.N.'s the visionary,
16:32the one who gets everyone excited about the project and drums up publicity.
16:35But then this benefactor apparently provides resources and money.
16:41And I mean a lot of money.
16:44It's a little unusual.
16:46But everything about this project is...
16:50Interesting.
16:51I wonder if Director Tan knows anything about this.
16:54Worth talking to him.
16:55I accepted the initiative's offer.
17:01They're calling me a Pathfinder.
17:05There's no other option left.
17:08Sam will never happen without their help.
17:10Our savings are gone, and no one will return my calls.
17:14I am a pariah.
17:18There's something strange going on with this benefactor.
17:22But...
17:23Ellen's getting worse.
17:25I can't fail her.
17:27I can't fail her.
17:57As sleepers wake from stasis,
18:22The initiative originally requires blood, tissue, and DNA donations.
18:27See a medic if you think you may be eligible.
18:30This is H&S.
18:38Colonial Affairs, please advise Director Tan of your status.
18:47Hello again.
18:48The Angara have nothing to fear from the people of the Milky Way.
19:06But something I can help you with?
19:10I'm curious.
19:12What do you know about the people who backed the initiative?
19:14What everyone knows.
19:16G.N. Carson was the founder and visionary.
19:20Unfortunately, she died on the Nexus during the Scourge disaster.
19:23Is there anyone else?
19:25I would almost welcome them.
19:27A voice to silence the rabble.
19:30Then Cash might listen.
19:31But no, we're alone.
19:33Why do you ask?
19:36I have information that suggests Garson wasn't the only one.
19:40What sort of information?
19:42It's complicated, but there was a silent partner.
19:45A benefactor.
19:46Even if that were true, we've been here 14 months with no sign of them.
19:50This partner is either a phantom, missing, or dead.
19:55Nope.
19:55G.N. Carson was the beacon.
19:57A sad end to someone of such stature.
20:00Dying alone.
20:02Oh?
20:03It was chaos.
20:04By the time they found her, she was already dead.
20:06Succumbed to her injuries.
20:07Was there a follow-up investigation?
20:13I wasn't even out of stasis.
20:15But knowing the violence of the Scourge disaster, death was everywhere.
20:19If you're suggesting something else happened, Ryder, I'd rather you didn't.
20:24Let's not add to the confusion.
20:26Thank you for your time.
20:28Ryder, if you wish to pursue this further, accessing Nexus security records may reveal more information.
